The Quinnipiac University poll accurately measured Newark Mayor Cory Booker's margin of
victory in New Jersey's U.S. Senate Democratic primary.

An August 7 survey of likely Democratic primary voters by the independent Quinnipiac
(KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University showed Booker with 54 percent, followed by U.S Rep. Frank
Pallone at 17 percent, U.S. Rep. Rush Holt at 15 percent and State Assembly Speaker Sheila
Oliver at 5 percent, with 8 percent undecided.

That survey gave Booker a margin over Pallone of 37 percentage points.

In more than 20 years of public opinion surveys, Quinnipiac University has developed a
reputation for accuracy.

From August 1 - 5, Quinnipiac University surveyed 2,042 New Jersey voters with a
margin of error of +/- 2.2 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.
The survey includes 388 likely Democratic primary voters with a margin of error of +/- 5
percentage points and 257 likely Republican primary voters with a margin of error of +/- 6.1
percentage points.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia,
Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research.
